Note to Self … Gel Plate and Letterpress Postcard Printing

Just walking into the studio gave me a thrill - inspiration in every nook and cranny. Kim has an absolute eye for detail and covered everything we needed for a successful day - an abundance of papers, the best paints, a huge array of materials for print making, and this time the glory of an authentic hand printing press which put the icing on the cake. Every participant left with a smile and a collection of hand made postcards in a beautiful handmade package. Kim is a natural teacher who encourages every student to celebrate their skills.

Kim is the most organised and generous teacher I've ever met. She is patient and kind and knows how to help those of us lacking in confidence. She explains every step thoroughly and ensures everyone understands before moving on. She is generous with her materials and knowledge and has a way of making you feel relaxed, even if you think you don't know what you're doing. Her classes are light and joyful and I left feeling inspired and with a beautiful collection of postcards that I'm really proud of.

Another memorable learning experience being part of the first group to complete the ‘Notes to Self’ workshop in Kim’s beautiful studio. I found it a very different experience gelli printing onto postcards and the icing on the cake was to print beautiful quotes onto the cards using Kim’s lovely old letterpress. We then printed onto board to create a beautiful little enclosure to keep them in. Kim is an incredible artist and teacher and so very generous in sharing her love of printmaking with her students. She is so creatively inspiring and I value the new skills she has shared with me. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying every minute of Kim Herringe workshop. Thanks Kim. Can’t wait until the next one!

Reignited a passion for mono - printing. Was a simple elegant and spiritual opportunity to creatively express emotion and feeling in a visual way. Thank you Kim as always for sharing this aspect of you art and life journey for the enrichment of others.

I'd recommend Kim's workshops to anyone interested in trying something new, or building on existing skills, in a supportive, friendly environment. Kim focuses on enjoying the process rather than aiming for perfection. She also provides excellent catering!

Kim is not only a wonderful printmaker, but she is an excellent teacher as well. She is generous with her knowledge and experience as well as her resources. I just loved my workshop with Gelli printing and am looking forward to the cyanotype coming up. I sincerely recommend Kim as a tutor and a lovely generous person.

Kim is an excellent teacher and she shared her passion for Gelatin Plate Printing in a relaxed and friendly workshop.

I really enjoyed Kim’s introduction to gelli printing workshop. It was a fun morning with a focus on play. I loved how generous Kim is with her knowledge and enjoyed experimenting with something I’d never tried before. Kim is great at taking the anxiety out of trying something new . Kin’s love of print making is contagious. Only problem was, I didn’t want to go home.

Kim is an amazing tutor and is very generous with her knowledge.
